How do I know if God is calling me to be a Dominican Nun in order to serve Him totally? God places within the heart of one He calls, a desire to be always near Him; a desire to love and serve Him and a desire to pray always. To discern one's vocation requires time and prayer. It is recommended that you:
All of these practices help to strengthen and deepen your personal relationship with Christ in the silence of prayer and adoration. To go apart in silence - turn off the social media - you will learn to listen and discern better your Call from God. Silence is essential.
Stay close to Our Lady, the first disciple and the first contemplative, who pondered the mysteries of Christ in the silence and purity of Her Immaculate Heart. She will guide you in the discernment process.
